   echo 	'<div id="submenu">
               <ul class="fix">
   wp_list_cats(' . optioncount=0&child_of=56&orderby=ID . ')

   Might I suggest this:

   easy php tutorial for WP users

   wp_list_cats() is PHP, not HTML. You need to break out of the apostrophes to switch from a string (HTML) to a PHP command and then back to a string.

   In general:

   echo 'html html html' . php . 'html html html';

   In specific:

   echo '<div>...<ul>...' . wp_list_cats('query') .'...</ul></div>';

   You are concatenating (connecting) a string <div>...<ul>... to a PHP command wp_list_cats() to another string ...</ul></div>.

   Maybe it would be more obvious what's going on if I wrote your code like this:

   } elseif ( (in_category('56')) {
   echo 	'<div id="submenu">
               <ul class="fix">';
   
   wp_list_cats('optioncount=0&child_of=56&orderby=ID');
   
   echo '      </ul>
             </div>';
